I'm not sure, but I think they're the same thing, though the one on LikSang is cheaper, unless shipping via Play-Asia is cheaper. If they are the same, perhaps take a look at the other thread labelled LikSang or something..

I was talking to Neogames9(the guy who sells Neo LED ddr pads for PS2 on eBay) and he said he was working on stocking up on Neo LED ddr pads for XBOX! He said to look for them around Nov. 18!!!!

You'd need shipping from play-asia too you know, unless you're in Europe.

I might be able to get one of those, and i'm in Australia, so *hopefully* shipping would be considerably less

Nope - $168.00 (~243.27 AUD) The shipping actually costs more than the metal pad :S

The Shipping over Lik-Sang for Europe is way cheaper. I pay a total of 152 Euro and pay upon delivery, THATs the way to go

Lik-Sang opened a delivery branch in germany, which makes it possible for them to ship it to a cheaper price, but the pad is more expensive that way, while you pay 109$US over Korea, you pay 129 Euros here, which is around 175$US.

I hope they keep their promise, then i'll have the pad on wednesday or thursday

Ok i have a problem with my CG pads. I did ps2freaks mod and after a little bit of playing the left button went berserk. When it goes to song select the left button is STUCK. IT keeps scrolling all my songs HOWEVER, the left button doesnt work anywhere but then. IF i were to select difficulty or play the game the left button doesnt respond or do anything AT ALL. I thought that the sensor might be the problem, so i unsoldered the sensor wires from the sensor but the same thing happened. Since this is the case i believe that the sensor has NOTHING to do with the malfunction. Instead im looking at the motherboard where all the wires are connected to. Everything looked attached and fine to me though. Does anyone have any suggestions or and instances where they found the same problem? Thanks.

Yes i did. The current state my pad is in is that i seperated the wire from the sensor. WHat really confuses me is that how come the pad is reacting even though there IS no sensor, and why does it go crazy during song select and others and it doesnt go berserk during game or during difficulty select. I'm thinking of disconnecting the left arrow wires from the mother board and seeing if thats the problem. I think it may be the mother board though. I personally dont know whats going on, i'm just hoping someone does becuase i spent 120 on it and like 50-60 to mod it using ps2freaks mod. If i knew this was going to happen i would have got CF. Ps2freaks mod seemed good though. Anyway, Please help me out here. THanks

I got my CF about a week ago and well......im sending it back. The arrows werent together and they were uneven not just the center piece which is raised to be like the arcade but they all were, the panels werent aligned with the base part and I couldnt straighten them due to where the screw holes were and some of the screw holes were broken as in they couldnt be tightened fully the screw just kept screwing in. Im thinking about getting a RO metal pad but im gonna give it a while for a lot people to get it and give there 2 cents on it (like a month or 2).

Yea I was like OMGWTF!!

Aw HELL naw, that is unusual hearing that the current king of metal pads has had a major malfunction like this. Being made from scratch and being SUV tested...hehe. Lucky for me I'm waiting on my RO shipment

weeeeelll.....a little on the expensive side, right now i'll estimate around 200$...but some good pads on ebay are over $300, and i'll bet they still aren't that great, i mean this thing is built like a rock (about as heavy as a rock that size too).

But i work 50-60 hours a week on the night shift so it's hard to find time to work on it, almost every day before and after work my friend and i have been trying to finish it. By next monday it should be completed.

and as far as the design goes...well me and my friend just decided to take bits and pieces of all the other designs and try to make them into a bigger and better (and again heavier) mega-pad. If it works really well then I'll make a 'how to' page, i wouldn't want to show others how to make it if it doesn't work good. Well ok I gotta get some sleep, thank you for liking the design, that just inspired me to try harder and finish it sooner
